Debate Recap: Romney Came Prepared

Most Read

This past Wednesday, the world had the chance to listen to President Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney debate their positions on issues such as taxes, healthcare, education and JOBS! It was a debate filled with fire and facts from one side: Gov. Romney's.

During the hour-and-half debate, the former Governor of Massachusetts left the President stumbling for words! Yes, it was clear during this debate (the first of three) that much of what the President has done during his first term in office has not benefited the American people. Gov. Romney pointed out that President Obama spent the first two years of his term fighting for healthcare, instead of jobs. Gov. Romney's stated throughout he debate that he wants to put people back to work!

Gov. Romney made statements full of fire and facts, with the intent to show the American people that he is the best choice in this election cycle. Gov. Romney repeated that he wants to put people back to work because as more people work, more revenue will come to the government.

Why do I think Romney is the best choice? Well, Gov. Romney made it clear how under President Obama's leadership the country's economy has gotten worse and will only worsen with the current policies and practices remaining in place. For instance, Romney mentioned the $90 billion spent on green jobs and projects—that is more than 50 years worth of subsidies to oil companies. 50 years!!! Plus, $90 billion would have hired two million teachers.

It was clear in Wednesday's debate that Gov. Romney's experiences in both the public sector (as governor) and private sector (business owner) is what sets him apart from President Obama. As I listened to President Obama's responses, which were widely regarded as lacking substance, I was perplexed that, when faced with facts about his horrible record, he could only fire back with a new idea he has formed to solve the problems he promised to change four years ago.

"The right approach relies on the brilliance of our people and states, not the federal government," said Governor Romney. Just one of many statements made by Gov. Romney that I thought was full of FIRE and FACTS.

My hope is that on November 6, 2012, the American people will fire President Obama based on the facts describing the past four years of his leadership.
